We are about the same handicap so I probably shouldn't be giving you advice, but I noticed on the head-on swing (with driver) that you finished with your weight back. If you notice, you actually lift your toes up on your lead foot right the afollow through. You shouldn't be able to do that, almost all your weight should be on that lead foot.

It's something I struggle with as well, looks like we are in the same boat.

Same thing I noticed. On your swing your neither of your feet should move until after you have made contact with the ball. Work on swaying your weight to your left foot on your back swing and then moving it to the right foot on your down swing.

Wass.. I replied to you on FGI.

Equipment, Setup, Finish, Balance, and Relax. All equal in importance and all dependent on each other. They are the cornerstones of a good golf swing.

I was always told to start your take-away by using your hips/arms. Looks like you're using your wrists.

Not that I'm the best golfer or have the best swing, or that I'm doing it "right", but compare your take-away and my take-away.

Neh, that one started out pretty straight and then went left (slice for me).

weird, if you listen closely you hear the contact of your driver and then a second later a 'hollow knock' like the sound a ball makes when it hits a tree dead on.. Must of been something else then.

When I took lessons, my coach told us to learn to do it slow. If you can't do it right slowly, you can't do it right fast.

I was at the driving range, so I guess it was someone else swinging behind my friend who was holding the camera.

I'm 19. I've always usually had a slow swing all the way through. I figure that technology these days is insane, so I just let the club do the work

I'm willing to give up 15-20 yards if it means I will be more accurate. I'm usually shorter than all my friends off the tee, but I'm also probably the most accurate with approach shots out of all of them. If everything else is right and smooth with my swing, the club will do the rest. My handicap is a 15, which I plan on lowering this summer. Thanks for the compliments.

Neh, I'm not doing any tournies this year. Bucks County is just outside of Philadelphia.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
